Article reports that President Mikheil Saakashvili launched 'a new wave of democracy', July 2009 to strengthen Georgia as it approaches the anniversary of the August 2008 disastrous war with Russia in which it lost control of a fifth of its territory. In an address to parliament on the 20 July 2009, Mr Saakashvili promised sweeping electoral, constitutional, judicial and media reform in the next 100 days, saying deepening democracy would help Georgia face 'hard times' and the challenge of partial occupation by Russia. |
